4. CABLE STRIPPING DIMENSIONS FOR PRIMARY POWER CONTACTS
CAUTION: When using cable with jacket diameter less than 0.423 inches (11mm) on the SBE160 / SBX175 and less than 0.709 inches
(18mm) on the SBE320 / SBX350 thin wall heat shrink insulation should be evenly applied. For SBX350/SBE320 using a cable with a
jacket diameter over 1.00” [28mm], it will not fit into the connector. Shrink tube should be applied.
SHRINK WRAP USAGE
• For SBE160 / SBX175 - When using a cable with a jacket diameter of (.420/11mm) or smaller the following Shrink tubing
should be applied per instructions: to insure finger protection.
• For SBE320 / SBX350 - When using a cable with a jacket diameter of (.700/18mm) or smaller the following Shrink tubing
should be applied per instructions: to insure finger protection.
• For SBE320/SBX350 - When using a cable with a jacket diameter over (1/25mm) or larger the following shrink tubing should
be applied per instructions: to insure finger protection.
Use Shrink wrap with a diameter (A) with 2:1 shrink ratio
• Operating temp -30 to +105°C (or higher)
• min. shrink temperature 80°C
• Recovered wall thickness (B)
• Cut shrink wrap to (C)
• Place shrink wrap over crimped contact as shown (D).
• Align edge of shrink wrap tubing to the bottom of the last crimp as shown (D).
• Heat shrink wrap as required to form around the contact, cabling and the cable’s insulation.
6. RECOMMENDED SOLDERING TECHNIQUES
(Use rosin flux solder only). Wrap cable strands, melt solder into well; heat and insert stripped cable. Continue heating well until solder
flows into wire being careful not to over flow onto contact surfaces. DO NOT SOLDER DIP CONTACTS when contacts are soldered to
unsupported lead. Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc. requires use of cable clamps, listed in table below.

7. CABLE / CONTACT & HOUSING ASSEMBLY
Observing polarity of markings, push each contact into rear of housing until notched side snaps over spring, tug on cable to make sure
contact is locked into place.
DISASSEMBLING CONNECTORS (see illustration)
Switch off power first. Remove contact by inserting extraction tool (cat. no. SBE160 / SBX175 - 969P1, SBE320 / SBX350 - 970P1) as
shown below (steps 1, 2, & 3).
CAUTION: Replace contacts individually on battery leads to reduce potential danger of shorting.
1. Insert extraction tool as shown between contact and housing to pointA.
2. Press down to release contact from spring.
3. Pull cable to remove contact.
3. Pull cable to remove contact.
Contains two each of : housings, contacts, retaining pins & cable ties.
1. Single conductors use #12 to #18AWG wire only. Strip to 0.31 inch (7.9 mm) off end of insulation.
2. Twin conductorcable #12to #18.Strip backouter jacket5.50 inches(139 mm).(See illustration).Then strip conductor insulation as in
(figure 1).
3a.To crimp: use the recommended tool. Crimping by other means may disturb contact position in housing and or produce high
resistance joints.
3b. To Solder: Not recommended.

4. Thread or push one or two auxiliary contacts and wires through the rear of the connector before inserting into auxiliary housings.
Push into auxiliary housings through rear until notched side of contact tip snaps over spring. Tug wires to make sure wires are secure.
5.SlidetwoauxiliaryPowerpole®housingstogether by dovetails to stack vertically.They cannot be inserted separately into SBE / SBX
housing. The rear of each of the Powerpole housings must be flush.
6. Slide stacked auxiliaries back into connector housing until seated. The male dovetail should be on top as shown in (figure 1). Make
sure side grooves of auxiliaries are aligned for retaining pins and insert tubular pins. Tap pins in holes from top, as shown in (figure 1).
7. Cable ties are supplied to secure the auxiliary leads or cable to one of the main power cables. Leave slack or loop in leads to
Powerpole®contacts when applying cable ties. Wraps to be placed approximately 1 inch (25.4 mm) apart as shown in (figure 2).
8. To remove auxiliary housings, punch out retaining pins from bottom of the connector housing with an 0.06 inch (1.5 mm) diameter
steel rod or pin driver. Pull auxiliary housings out of the SBE®/SBX®connector housing. Use contact insertion-extraction tool kit (part
number 111038G2), to remove contacts from auxiliary housings see (figure 3).
